In a way, this event mirrors the larger gun debate.

Liberals don't believe in the right of guns for self-defense. Conservatives do.

And Liberals don't believe in the right of heated rhetoric for political self-defense. Conservatives are left little choice. Something this pundit misses.

We didn't start this fight. We're finishing it.

Obama’s speech in Tucson Wednesday night was “a campaign speech given while standing on six coffins.”

ONLY when the Dems are not the majority do they call for the “moderation” or “civility”.

The same POS p-Resident who told Republicans to their faces “I WON” the 3rd day he was in office when the GOP asked for “bi-partisanship”.

Why should we want to even pretend to make nice with a bunch of soulless ghouls who immediately jumped on the dead and dying to push an agenda.

That “Pep Rally” memorial service complete with souvenir tee shirts with the logo “Together We Thrive” didn’t help persuade us sane and rational people that what their party did was just a misunderstanding.

Partisans don't change much. They can be energized to provide extra effort, or suppressed into inaction, but they rarely change sides. Obama's target is the mushy middle, and he's coopting "partisans" from BOTH sides in the effort.

It's not a new strategy - to encourage lawlessness, enmity and that overused word vitriol. If they can evoke a similar amount of hate and vitriol from the other side, that only increases the effect.

While the monkeys (and the invective) fly, it's Obama's job to stay above the fray and call for calm and rationality. It's so Presidential, ya know? It appeals to that segment of society that's really not sure what's going on, but knows there's trouble. There's chaos, dissention, loud voices and violence everywhere, and they're looking for that calm, authoritative voice of order and reason. These people are the majority of the electorate, and they're looking for leadership, unlike the "partisans" who've already made up their minds for 2012.

And that, IMHO, is what the speech was all about.

Interesting phrase: "not a heroic embrace of ambiguity". What kind of person sees anything heroic in ambiguity? Even ObamaGirl must be looking at the pathetic loser who is governing our country and wondering what she ever saw in the usurper.

Yes, those are two beautifully crafted sentences, aren’t they? There is not a single word wasted.
